Updated dark pixel fraction constraints on reionization's end from the Lyman-series forests of XQR-30
Frederick B. Davies, Sarah E. I. Bosman, Valentina D'Odorico +16
The fraction of "dark pixels" in the Ly and other Lyman-series forests at provides a powerful constraint on the end of the reionization process. Any spectral region…
Galaxy Underdensities Host the Clearest IGM Ly Transmission and Indicate Anisotropic Reionization
Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Anson D'Aloisio +6
How galaxies drive reionization and what governs its geometry remain fundamental questions. We present JWST/NIRCam wide-field slitless spectroscopy (WFSS) observations toward two o…
Ly Emission from [OIII] Emitters Near Reionization: The role of environment in galaxy Ly detection
Seyedazim Hashemi, George D. Becker, Yongda Zhu +1
Using galaxy Ly emission to probe reionization relies on establishing baseline expectations for its detectability in the absence of attenuation by neutral gas in the IGM. Toward…
A massive HI-absorption-selected galaxy at
Balpreet Kaur, Nissim Kanekar, Marcel Neeleman +4
We use the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) to detect , , and rest-frame 349-GHz continuu…
Percent-level timing of reionization: self-consistent, implicit-likelihood inference from XQR-30+ Ly forest data
Yuxiang Qin, Andrei Mesinger, David Prelogović +13
The Lyman alpha (Lya) forest in the spectra of z>5 quasars provides a powerful probe of the late stages of the Epoch of Reionization (EoR). With the recent advent of exquisite data…
No Redshift Evolution in the Fe II/Mg II Flux Ratios of Quasars across Cosmic Time
Danyang Jiang, Masafusa Onoue, Linhua Jiang +13
The Fe II/Mg II emission line flux ratio in quasar spectra serves as a proxy for the relative Fe to alpha-element abundances in the broad line regions of quasars. Due to the expect…
Damping Wing-Like Features in the Stacked Ly Forest: Potential Neutral Hydrogen Islands at
Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Sarah E. I. Bosman +28
Recent quasar absorption line observations suggest that reionization may end as late as . As a means to search for large neutral hydrogen islands at , we revisi…
Multi-phase black-hole feedback and a bright [CII] halo in a Lo-BAL quasar at
Manuela Bischetti, Hyunseop Choi, Fabrizio Fiore +18
Although the mass growth of supermassive black holes during the Epoch of Reionisation is expected to play a role in shaping the concurrent growth of their host-galaxies, observatio…
Damping wing absorption associated with a giant Ly trough at : direct evidence for late-ending reionization
George D. Becker, James S. Bolton, Yongda Zhu +1
Multiple observations now suggest that the hydrogen reionization may have ended well below redshift six. While there has previously been no conclusive proof of extended neutral isl…
Damping wings in the Lyman-α forest: a model-independent measurement of the neutral fraction at 5.4<z<6.1
Benedetta Spina, Sarah E. I. Bosman, Frederick B. Davies +2
Recent observations have positioned the endpoint of the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) at redshift . However, observations of the Lyman- forest have not yet been able t…
IGM damping wing constraints on the tail end of reionisation from the enlarged XQR-30 sample
Bradley Greig, Andrei Mesinger, Eduardo Bañados +16
The attenuation of Ly photons by neutral hydrogen in the intergalactic medium (IGM) at continues to be a powerful probe for studying the epoch of reionisation. Given…
Constraints on the Evolution of the Ionizing Background and Ionizing Photon Mean Free Path at the End of Reionization
Frederick B. Davies, Sarah E. I. Bosman, Prakash Gaikwad +16
The variations in Ly forest opacity observed at between lines of sight to different background quasars are too strong to be caused by fluctuations in the density field a…
The effect of reionization on direct measurements of the mean free path
Joshua T. Roth, Anson D'Aloisio, Christopher Cain +3
Recent measurements of the ionizing photon mean free path (MFP) based on composite quasar spectra may point to reionization ending at . These measurements are challenging beca…
Chasing the Tail of Cosmic Reionization with Dark Gap Statistics in the Ly Forest over
Yongda Zhu, George D. Becker, Sarah E. I. Bosman +14
We present a new investigation of the intergalactic medium (IGM) near the end of reionization using "dark gaps" in the Lyman-alpha (Ly) forest. Using spectra of 55 QSOs at $z_{\…
